Best lines in a song


There has been a long-running thread here of 'Best quotes' but maybe it would be interesting to find out folks' favorite lines from songs. To keep it on some sort of track, let's have a few ground rules.

- Attribution is required, who sang it (or wrote it) and where can we hear it?
- Shorter is better, four lines maximum, a verse. These should be words of wisdom that can be summoned for inspiration in social emergencies.
- If you're an opera fan, you're welcome to post in Italian, just don't expect many high fives from the monolingual among us.

I'll throw out a couple for starters:

When you're rockin' and a rollin' you can't hear your momma call.
Little Richard - Good Golly, Miss Molly

All I want in this life of mine is some good clean fun.
All I want in this life and time is some hit and run.
Little Feat - Fat Man in the Bathtub

A little odd ditty that somehow I've not forgotten. And please excuse the R rated theme; no intention to insult anyone.

"My dick is a harley
You kick it to start
The moment it speaks
The heavens will part"
Frank Zappa, the Mothers from their Live @ the Fillmore LP.

Incidently, I saw them play this live at a gig in Vermont. Frank mentioned that he was so happy to be in VT with normal people. As they just got busted on a porn charge while performing this in Miami. Times were pretty different then.
